From what I understand, humans can see red green and blue and everything in the middle. Some animals I’ve heard see more colors than us, so what’s to say that some things in nature are colors that we don’t see? Who’s to say that some apples are red? And instead a different color that we don’t have a name for because we can’t process it?
How can we tell if this “apple” is as a matter of fact “red”.

Color perception is weird. People think color are these set principles about reality, but they are not. Believe it or not … your WiFi signals and data signals your phone is using to communicate are actually colors, our eyes are just not tuned to perceive them.
You see, colors only exist in the sense of how they differ from each other. That’s it. So any “new” color wouldn’t look like anything but “a different color”. You could only ever describe it as what it’s “not”, not as what it “is”.
